War has come to Avarath, and it's up to Delphine to stop it from tearing apart the realms of faerie and humans alike.

For the first time in millennia, three true high kings of faerie sit on their thrones.

All should be well in in the realms of the fae, but instead, bloodshed has already begun. Deimos, high king of the Afterworld, has stepped out of his realm for the first time to offer Delphine a deal that will seal the future of faerie forever: betray her own kind and end the bloodshed . . . or watch faerie drown in war.

But there's another option. A dark fae king without a crown whispers promises of unlocking Delphine's true power. A gamble that could save everything—or unleash a terror worse than war itself.

No matter which way Delphine turns, only one thing seems certain. From the moment Delphine stepped into faerie, she was marked for death. She's survived sacrifice, fiends, fae, humans, and more—only to once again face her inevitable end.

It seems fate, at last, will have its way—unless Delphine can find a way to defy it.

Contains mature themes.
